Our Daily Schedule

What is your daily schedule?

We pick you up on your schedule 24/7. Our professional drivers are normally 5-10 minutes early at your home, or right on time at the airport. You get to pick the time we pick you up.

What is my pickup time at the airport?

We normally pick you up 30 minutes after your plane lands for domestic flights, or 45 minutes after for international flights.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Pickup times automatically adjust to 30 minutes after you land if your flight is delayed for domestic flights, or 45 minutes after you land for international flights.

What happens if my flight arrives early?

You can always call or send us a text if you want us to pick you up early, and we will let your driver know that you are ready to be picked up. Otherwise, we will pick you up at the scheduled time on your reservation.

How soon should I make a reservation?

Although there is no set rule that prevents you from booking last minute, it's a good idea to make your reservation as soon as possible to make sure a driver is available and prevent any delays.

How long does it take to go from Phoenix or Bullhead City?

Trips to and from Bullhead City in normal traffic are about 4 hours versus 8 hours on the bus or a shuttle with a bunch of people. Rush hour will normally add 15-45 minutes (30 minutes on the average).

What time should I be picked up?

5 hours and 30 minutes before is normally enough time. The airport recommends you to be there 2 hours early to get through security and to your plane. Boarding usually starts 30 minutes before your plane takes off. However, one hour and thirty minutes is normally enough time. So if the drive from Bullhead City to Phoenix takes about 4 hours, then 5 and a half hours before your flight takes off is normally good.

We can mention "I-40" (which is real), "US-95", "AZ-95"? Actually AZ-95 is correct: Arizona's state route 95 (also known as "Arizona State Route 95"). We can mention "AZ-68" maybe?

Also talk about "Amtrak's Thruway bus" connecting to Phoenix. We can talk about "Public transit: Valley Metro bus route 72" maybe not. But we can mention "Phoenix's Valley Metro" as the local transit authority. We can talk about "Driving conditions: typical speed limit 65-75 mph on I-40".

We can mention "Arizona's scenic byways: The Arizona River Trail, The Mingus Mountain Scenic Road". We can mention "Weather considerations: summer heat can exceed 110°F, so early morning departure recommended".

How to Travel from Bullhead City to Phoenix: Complete Guide

Whether you’re heading to Arizona’s capital for business, a medical appointment, or a weekend getaway, the 218‑mile corridor between Bullhead City and Phoenix offers several transportation options. The route threads through the high desert of Mohave County, past historic Route 66 towns, and across the vast Sonoran Desert. This guide breaks down every viable travel mode—driving, shuttle‑plus‑flight, bus, train, and chartered shuttle—so you can pick the choice that best matches your schedule, budget, and comfort level. All travel times and distances are drawn from public route‑planning sources (Rome2Rio, 1map.com, fromto.travel) and are presented as estimates to reflect real‑world variability.

Understanding the Bullhead City to Phoenix Corridor

Bullhead City sits on the Arizona side of the Colorado River, directly opposite Laughlin, Nevada. The most direct road link is via U.S. Route 95 north to Kingman, then Interstate 40 east toward the Valley of the Sun. This highway combination covers roughly 218 miles (≈353 km) and typically takes about 4 hours 4 minutes of driving under normal conditions (source: Rome2Rio). The terrain is a mix of flat desert plains and rolling hills, with elevation climbing from about 500 ft in Bullhead City to roughly 1,100 ft in Phoenix.

Driving: The Classic Road‑Trip Option

Many travelers choose to drive because it offers the greatest flexibility. The drive follows a well‑maintained corridor:

  • Start: Bullhead City, AZ – take AZ‑95 north.
  • Interim stop: Kingman – the junction where US‑95 meets I‑40 (approx. 30 mi north of Bullhead City).
  • Continue: I‑40 east across the Black Mountains, passing the historic town of Oatman, known for its wild burros and Route 66 murals.
  • Final stretch: I‑40 continues east through Seligman and Ash Fork before merging onto US‑93 near Wickenburg, then onto AZ‑60 into the Phoenix metro area.

Typical travel time is around 4 hours 4 minutes, though traffic around Phoenix can add 15‑30 minutes during rush hour. Fuel costs are estimated at $35‑$60 for a passenger car, depending on fuel efficiency and current pump prices (source: Rome2Rio). Speed limits on I‑40 are 75 mph for cars, dropping to 65 mph through urban segments near Kingman and Phoenix.

Road‑trip tips:

  • Fuel up in Kingman – there are several gas stations (Chevron, Shell, Love’s) and a wide selection of restaurants.
  • Stop at Oatman – the town’s historic Main Street is perfect for a quick walk and a photo with the burros.
  • Check weather – summer temperatures can exceed 110 °F; early morning departures are safest.
  • Carry a spare tire and water – desert driving can be unforgiving if you get a flat.

Shuttle + Flight: The Fastest Door‑to‑Door Option

If time is your priority, a combined shuttle‑and‑flight itinerary can get you from Bullhead City to Phoenix in as little as 3 hours 56 minutes. The process works as follows:

  1. Ground shuttle – Local shuttle services run several times daily from Bullhead City to Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas. The ride is roughly 90 minutes and covers about 95 miles via US‑95 and I‑215.
  2. Flight – From LAS, a short 1‑hour‑10‑minute nonstop flight lands at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). Airlines that operate this leg include American Airlines, Frontier, and JSX, with multiple departures each day (source: Rome2Rio).

Total cost for this combined leg is estimated at $180‑$550, depending on shuttle provider, ticket class, and how far in advance you book (source: Rome2Rio). From Flagstaff, a second bus leg takes you into Phoenix. The entire itinerary takes roughly 6 hours 58 minutes and costs an estimated $170‑$270

Our Better Vehicles

What type of vehicle will pick me up?

We can send a shuttle (4+ passengers) or a nice car (1-3 passengers) anytime and take you to or from any address in Arizona, not just the airport. Our vehicles are clean and newer. Most vehicles are luxury and full size. We have Mercedes Sprinters, Chrysler 300's, Lexus ES300 Hybrids, Lincoln MKZ's, and a variety of other vehicles to meet your needs.


Our Pickup Locations

Your shuttle picks up where it says Prearranged. If you are in a wheelchair, do not allow your attendant to leave you anywhere except Prearranged. The signs are easy to see and they are always at the outer curb. Sometimes airport security will send people to the wrong place, so it's better to follow the directions below. The airport also won't allow drivers to walk more than 15 feet away from their vehicle or wait, so good communication is essential. Turn on your cell phone and take it off of airplane mode, so your driver can call or text you. If you don't recognize the number, it's probably your driver.


Terminal 3 Prearranged is across the crosswalk from Door 6 and to the right, south side of the building.


Terminal 4 Prearranged is across the crosswalk from Door 3, north side of the building, first floor. The sign says "Prearranged Vehicles 3 NORTH".


To and From Any Address (One Way)

What kind of transportation services do you offer?

We offer a shuttle from Bullhead City to Phoenix, and other types of transportation like black car and taxi. We customize our service to your needs by offering different options like shuttles, black car services, and taxi. We offer many types of vehicles, and different options to make your experience great.

Things You Should Know

Does it make sense to take an Uber or Lyft?

Uber and Lyft drivers often cancel once they arrive at your house, because the app doesn't tell them where they are going until they arrive at your home. Usually drivers don't want to drive that far and not get paid for two hours to drive back, or they are unavailable to work for that long. This may result in you missing your flight after 2-3 of them cancel in a row, and they charge you $5 each time for the cancellation. You then try to contact Uber or Lyft over the next week to get a refund, and they don't even have a phone number.

Another thing to consider is that Uber and Lyft drivers are never interviewed, so you may get a depressed guy complaining about his life, a tiny car with no leg room or a creeper. Uber and Lyft also do not train their drivers and the airport is moderately confusing to most people, so they usually have no idea where to go.


How reliable is the Greyhound bus or an Arizona shuttle with a lot of people?

Companies that do shared rides will try to pick you up an hour or two earlier, but they make no promises about when you will actually get to the airport. If you're on a tight schedule, the shared ride option with Arizona shuttle or the Greyhound is probably not a good idea. Extra stops and scheduling with other passengers can either make you too early or potentially late. Even with great drivers, passengers can be unpredictable and end up making everyone miss their flight.

Is there flights from Phoenix AZ to Bullhead City AZ? Yes, there are flights available but you can also drive to Bullhead City AZ. From Phoenix AZ to Bullhead City AZ is 230.2 miles, which approximately is a 3 hour and 39 minute drive.

Bullhead City Shuttle can service your ride to anywhere in Arizona. We also can take you to Las Vegas or Laughlin and take you back to anywhere in Arizona. Make your reservation today!
